It might. It depends on the application. Applications can write to the INI
file to store settings and other variables.
If an application does write lines to the INI and the application is
subsequently removed, the lines in the INI will simply be ignored by the
system software, since only that application would have any reason to read
those lines.

It's possible that a file could be written to the OG by an application and
then would not be removed by the uninstaller. Again, this would depend on the
application and how its coded. Ideally, it shouldn't happen, but it's up to
the programmer to write an application such that it doesn't leave trash
laying around.

A cold boot will delete the GEOS.INI and replace it with a fresh, "virgin"
GEOS.INI. A warm boot will not replace the GEOS.INI.
